Can anyone assist with a photo or service details of...
Evening all,
On Friday i was gifted some pieces from WW1 air assets Also what looks like a tool for tightening barbed wire from WW1 France. The owners AB439 is present with some details. Id love to be able to have a picture of the officer in question or some further ideas on his service His name is Lt Fenton George Hort, of the London Electrical Engineers RE (T). He was obviously something to do with searchlight (found that on the web). What would 30, 62 and 14 A.A.S.S BEF (i know BEF) be please? These bits were found in a skip years ago and passed to me because of my interest. My lads doing WW1 at school. Id like to print off a picture of Mr Hort and show how innoculous "junk" can be personalalised through a little effort and support from peolpe. Many thanks Jon20191206_205212.jpg 20191206_204814.jpg 20191206_204753.jpg 20191206_204831.jpg 20191206_203918.jpg

Hi, all that looks like aircraft wreckage, the brass item looks like a fuel stop cock, the tension item is for the wires on a biplane wing, or a control wire.

"AASS" - I think this will be "Anti Aircraft Searchlight Station" but am not in a position to check books.
